Qiao Teng was very strong, at least, somewhat stronger than Qin Sheng. As the two grappled, Qin Sheng gained no advantage. On the contrary, he was suppressed at every turn.

"You guys, kill Tang Rao!" Qin Sheng shouted to the four peak Tribulation-crossing Cultivators he had brought with him. "Li Yuze, stop just watching, kill Tang Rao!"

Li Yuze charged forward, directly appearing behind the four peak Tribulation-crossing Cultivators.

"Let's go together, end Tang Rao." Li Yuze said.

"Okay!" The four peak Tribulation-crossing Cultivators immediately agreed, as long as they killed Tang Rao, everything could end.

Bang Bang!

However, before they could launch an attack, two loud booms were heard; among the four, two were sent flying, spewing blood from their mouths. One of them, in the process of being thrown, split apart and eventually disintegrated entirely.

What!!

The remaining two peak Tribulation-crossing Cultivators spun around instantly and quickly retreated, staring at Li Yuze in shock.

"What a pity..." Li Yuze was already smiling, gently shaking his head. "I'm sorry, but actually, this has nothing to do with you. It's just that, often times, choosing the wrong team has very serious consequences."

"Li Yuze, you betrayed me!!" Qin Sheng, of course, noticed Li Yuze's sudden turncoat, his eyes bloodshot.

"I can't help it, I didn't want to, but ... you're just too stupid." Li Yuze spread his hands. "Besides, it wasn't me who tricked you; the one who tricked you is over there watching the show."

Li Yuze gestured towards Tang Rao, who was grinning with a bright and splendid smile.

"You all wait for me!" At this time, Qin Sheng dared not continue fighting and quickly broke away, ready to leave.

Of course, to run away, he had to first shut down the surrounding Array, as the Array was sealing the space, making it impossible to leave through a Space Rift.

But soon Qin Sheng was dumbfounded; he couldn't disable this spatial Array at all, completely incapable of dissolving it.

"Have you discovered that you can't turn off this spatial Array?" Tang Rao asked Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng looked towards Tang Rao, fear evident in his eyes.

"When it comes to Arrays, you're still way too green." Tang Rao said with a smile.

Qiao Teng continued to rush forward, launching a furious assault on Qin Sheng. As for Tang Rao, he occasionally struck down with a couple of Heaven's Tribulations; though they didn't injure Qin Sheng, they did bring him great trouble.

Because of Tang Rao's Thunder Tribulation Power, Qin Sheng had been blasted several times by Qiao Teng, his injuries becoming increasingly serious.

The two remaining peak Tribulation-crossing Cultivators didn't dare to make a move at this point, just as Li Yuze had said, this matter actually didn't have much to do with them, and they wanted to stay alive.

"Damn ... what the hell ..." Liu Sanxing blinked, dumbly looking back and forth between Tang Rao and Li Yuze.

At this time, Li Yuze had already freed Liu Sanxing from his restraints.

"Is this what you and Tang Rao agreed upon?" Liu Sanxing looked towards Li Yuze.

Li Yuze shrugged: "It wasn't so much an agreement, I just did as he said. Honestly, Liu Sanxing, you curse people viciously, even saying you'd curse me to death in our next life..."

"Shit, how would I know ..." Liu Sanxing was at a loss for words, realizing that everything had been arranged by Tang Rao, starting from when Li Yuze fell out with Tang Rao, everything had been in preparation. It was just too darn cunning.

And truthfully, Li Yuze's acting was too good; he had not noticed any hint of deception.

"Boom!" Suddenly, a roaring sound came, and Qin Sheng was blasted away by Qiao Teng, appearing to be in a sorry state.

However, Qiao Teng did not follow up to kill Qin Sheng outright but instead stopped, just standing there quietly, then turned back to look at Tang Rao.

"It's about time." Qiao Teng said.

"Okay." Tang Rao nodded, his mouth slightly curving upwards, "It's your turn to come out."

Qin Sheng was momentarily stunned. What did Tang Rao mean? What does "it's your turn to make a move" mean? Who is supposed to make a move?

The next moment, a figure suddenly appeared, clad in white robes, looking quite dashing.

"Bai Ze!" Qin Sheng exclaimed in shock.

He, of course, knew about Bai Ze becoming a Judge Candidate Envoy but what he didn't know was that Bai Ze was actually involved with Tang Rao.

"Judge Qin Sheng, I, Bai Ze, challenge you for the position of Judge," Bai Ze said to Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng was sharply taken aback. He was gravely injured at the moment, and Bai Ze had already advanced to Half-step Great Perfection; there was no way he could be his match.

Damn it, no wonder Qiao Teng didn't deliver a fatal blow. So, he had been played like a fool by Tang Rao; everything had been calculated by Tang Rao in advance.

Even now, having neutralized Qin Moyan, he no longer had a direct Judge Candidate, and Bai Ze would immediately replace his position as Judge by defeating or killing him.

All of this was a setup!

"How could this happen..." Qin Sheng's head was buzzing. This was his first real-life encounter with Tang Rao, but he was already thoroughly outmaneuvered by him.

"In this world, many things happen without a reason. If you really want one, all I can say is you are relatively inferior, and your mind isn't as sharp. Out of the four Judges, Jiang Guan is already dead, and I temporarily can't touch Cui Baiyi and Xue Xing, so, it seems, you are the only one left," Tang Rao said.

Qin Sheng had a look of sorrow. Is it my fault that my mind isn't good… It's not my decision, I also want to be sharp-witted, quick-thinking, versatile and shrewd, but I can't.

Intelligence, after all, is a matter of talent, damn it.

"Is there anything else you want to say? If not, you can say goodbye to this world," Tang Rao said.

"Tang Rao, I acknowledge my defeat this time, but don't get too happy too soon. I don't believe you'll have the last laugh because you know very well that you are just a pitiful creature, we all are, the entire Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains are merely others' playthings! I will die, and you will die, everyone is a chess piece! Hahaha! I'll wait for you in hell!" Qin Sheng laughed wildly.

Tang Rao was suddenly startled.

"Go!" Tang Rao shouted loudly, directly breaking the spatial blockade.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

A group of people swiftly left, leaving only Bai Ze behind.

"Boom!" In the next moment, Qin Sheng's body exploded, unleashing a massive surge of energy.

Self-detonation was always so tragically fierce, so extreme and desperate.

Of course, with Bai Ze's strength of Half-step Great Perfection, he wasn't likely to be injured by Qin Sheng's self-detonation; after all, the difference between Half-step Great Perfection and the peak of surviving Heavenly Tribulation is only the control of the power of the Heavenly Dao, and theoretically, it's always just the pinnacle of surviving tribulation.

Such a self-detonation would not injure a Cultivator at the Half-step Great Perfection Realm.

...

On the Shouwang Star, Tang Rao looked at Liu Sanxing and Li Yuze in front of him.

"Brother, you've been somewhat insincere about this matter; I almost cursed out all of Yu Ze's ancestors," complained Liu Sanxing, clearly aggrieved.

"For now, you are the third person to know about this matter," Tang Rao said to Liu Sanxing.

Liu Sanxing was stunned for a moment, "Yan Wei doesn't know?"

Tang Rao shook his head.

"So, keep this matter confidential from everyone. As for Yu Ze, keep maintaining our ruse; only an enemy can get close to an enemy. It's just, you have been put through quite some hardship," said Tang Rao.

"The hardship is still manageable, but I have one condition," Li Yuze said.

"Speak."

"Seal Liu Sanxing's mouth. I want to curse at him without hearing any response from him!"
